mate, unless in q general way and by con-
sidering the entire state. 1t is unwise to
overestimate the crop, as it has tendency
to lessen the price, and incline purchasers
to believe that later on they can supply
themselves at lower figures, but as the
yield in many of the cotton states has
been cut short bv the drought, prices in
the future are not liable to be less than
ct present. The elaborate system of
gathering data relative 10 the condition CT
the cotton crop all over the world, and
the scrutiny with which every change
in its condition is watched, give to the
collated ard published reports character
of authenticity aud g semblance OF
accuracy which cannot De ignored and,
certainly, not disputed. The best in
formation obtainable would indicate that
while the American crop Will be less than
last year, Texas will not ehare in the
decrease and may enjoy an increase. 1t
is surely fattering for Texas 20 be able
to cold her own in spite CT the many
drawbacks Of the past summer. Il
should give our people faith and conf
dence in tae superiority of this over al
other states.

that it is q violation OF the "great princi-

own free Will snd urtrammeled Judgment

The theory is admirable, and should be

CH3CAGO'S ANARCHISTS.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. LIT did not
appear, when the anarchists emerged
from their cells to take exercise this

made any impression On them. Spies

nodded 10 his fellows and then going 10
the siuk washed two or three pieces of

the cell house and talked among them
selves till their friends began to come in.
a Germsn newspaper CT this city, the
Stats Zeitung, which has hitherto been
in favor OF the execution of the anarchists
comes out this morning in al editorial
somewhat supporting the commission
Of the sentence. The main paragraph
reads IS follows: "I5 would be more
clever if the defense Instead of seeking
through legal bubbles to disturb and ex-
cite public opinion took advantage OF the
present prevailing miIder sentiment Of
the public in order to present G petition

Butler would be employed to champion
the cause OF the condemned anarchists
in Chicago the GeneraI said
to G reporter this afternoon:
"My position is Just this:
From what examination OF the matter
have made do rot see anything to war

behalf. On the other hand l have not
completed the examination sufficiently
for me to refuse to do SO. The public may
rest assured that l will never allow 6
mans life to be sacrificed If can see any
ground on which it can possibly be saved
